RONAN
I don’t remember leaving the burial grounds. One moment, Lily was screaming in my arms, her blood soaking into my shirt and the next I was running.
Running toward anyone who could save her.
"Lily." I called through it all. "Lily, stay with me. Stay with Papa. Don't close your eyes. Please. Please don't close your eyes."
Her face was white, too white and her lips were pale, her eyes half-open, unfocused. She was breathing but it was shallow and too fast. I was losing her. Our fault, Black howled. We didn't protect her.
The pack hospital finally came into view, and I didn’t slow down,
“HELP!” I barked the minute I made it through the entrance, my voice ripping through the building and everything exploded into motion.Healers rushed forward, voices overlapping, hands reaching out.
